Ever since Shiri Bibas, 32, and her sons Ariel and Kfir, ages 4 and nine months, were taken hostage to Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, Israelis hoped they would be freed alive.

Instead, crowds gathered along roads and overpasses across the country Wednesday to observe the funeral procession of a mother and children killed while captive in Gaza — a family tragedy that has shattered the Israeli public after more than a year of war, with scores of Israelis still held hostage.
